Smoker Sunglasses

Filed Under Brand Wave, Designer Sunglasses, Eyewear Knowledge 


For the avid smoker, smoking on a windy day can be endlessly frustrating. One of the key accessories for the windy smoker is a pair of sunglasses, and Dior is a great brand for this because they fit snug to the face so wind and smoke do not get in your eyes. Additionally, they should be tinted slightly grey so as to erase the highlighting feature of smoke many sunglasses unfortunately have.

If you are a chain smoker, you’ll want to get from indoors to outside as quickly as possible and with as few diversions as possible. For the true addict, lenses that automatically shift from indoor to outdoor tinting are best. When indoors these lenses serve as eyeglasses, when outdoors as sunglasses and as a shield from smoke. While a bit more expensive, and you are probably saving for your next pack, they will pay themselves off with the convenience they add to your life.

Many smokers find that wearing contacts and smoking, or being in smoke-filled areas, can cause irritation. This is not a byproduct of wearing glasses, which can also enhance your appearance especially when done well, as with designer eyewear. If you are a frequent smoker, try to avoid contacts and make a statement with your designer eye glasses instead of hiding behind them shyly.

Police sunglasses, a newcomer to the designer eyewear industry but one with ample celebrity support and spokesmenship. George Clooney and Antonio Bandaras are avid fans. Police sunglasses are perfect for smokers because, like Dior, they fit snugly to the face but have the added features of being darkly tinted and aerodynamic—not to mention cool.
